Dante Watterson: Sorry to those that have been waiting for the release of the 7th Chapter since May. I've been having a bit of trouble with the connection due to the internet slowing down on me lately. Hopefully, that will get fixed at some point so I can try to post these Chapters sooner than later like before. Here's the newest Chapter of I Think I Smell A Barbecue! Btw: I do not own My Hero Academia or the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, nor the entire franchise. Enjoy.

Chapter 7: Costumes and Combat

(Hours Later, Location: U.A. Entrance, Afternoon)

At the end of the first day of U.A., the group of 10 exited the School together. "So what're you thinking of doing when we go back to the Apartment Building?" Spyro asked with a raised brow now that School for today is over. "I'm not sure. Study for tomorrow, practice on my Quirk, maybe take a break and see the news...What about you guys?" Just then someone shouted. "Midoriya, Spyro!" They turned to see who it is.

"Iida? What brings you here?" Spyro asked him which he told them while walking by their side. "I came to congratulate you, Midoriya, and your two friends for making it to the top 3." He looked at them, Sparx and Bianca in that order. "Thanks. And good job for...Almost making it to the top 10?" Told Bianca, giving a smile to Iida. "Welcome. I'm also a bit surprised that Aizawa wasn't lying about dismissing one of us if they didn't use their Quirks." Tenya crossed his arms. "I trust U.A.'s judgment as it's the top program, but still, I'd never imagined our Teacher would try to do such a thing."

"HEY!"

They turned to the direction of the call and saw that it was Ochako Uraraka, who is running towards them. "Wait for me! Are you guys going to the station?" She stopped when she made it to them. Spyro nodded to her. "You're going there too?" Uraraka nodded with an optimistic hum. Tenya noticed who she is. "I know you...You're the Infinity Girl." She introduces herself cheerfully to him and the others. "I'm Ochako Uraraka." She examines each of them. "Let's see...You're Tenya Iida. You're Spyro. You're Elora, Sparx, Sheila, Hunter, Bentley, Bianca, James, Nine, And...Oh, you're Deku Midoriya!"

"Deku?!" Izuku said with wide-eyes. Ochako nodded. "Yeah, that's what Bakugou called you during the 5th Test...Right?" The blondes enraged shout echos through their minds as they remembered what he said. 'DEKU, YOU BETTER TELL ME WHAT THAT WAS OR-!' It stops right there. Izuku became nervous, looking upwards to the left and downwards to the right while moving his arms both directions, explaining to her. "Uh, well...You see...Deku's not my real name, it's Izuku...Kaachan calls me Deku to make fun of me."

Iida placed his hand under his chin and looks at the Cheetah. "That's truly rude of him, don't you think?" Hunter agreed. "Yeah...He did the same thing to us when we first came to the School he went to." Ochako rubbed the back of her head. "Oh...My bad, I didn't realize that." She then tells him. "It's just, Deku sounds like it could be a cool hero name...Plus I think it's really cute." The green-haired lad's face turned a bright pinkish-red with beads of sweat sliding down his neck. "Deku it is!"

"Just like that?" Asked the confused Iida while he made odd movements with his hands. "Didn't you just say, it was an insult?" Spyro sighed, watching as their friend turns and covers his beet red face. "There he goes again..." Uraraka was puzzled by all of this. "Huh?" Noticing the time they have, Sheila speaks up. "Hey, mates?"

Getting their attention she points towards the direction of the train station. "Not to be rude, but I think we should get moving. We only have a few minutes until the train arrives and the walk from here is a bit far." They looked over at a nearby clock, seeing the time Iida spoke. "She's right, we can't stand here all day. Let's go." They walked away from the entrance of U.A. down the sidewalk to their destination, talking one another with Izuku, Spyro, Sparx, and the others getting along with their new friends, Ochako Uraraka and Tenya Iida.

(Next Day, Location: U.A. High School, Morning)

"Alright, class, which of these sentences is incorrect? If selected correctly, raise your hand if you want to point out the mistake."

Present Mic, real name, Hizashi Yamada asked, referring to one of the four sentences that were written on the chalkboard by him. All 29 students were in English as their First Period class, and already half of them were bored out of their minds, nearly falling asleep to this easy task. The students Mina, Denki, the girl with earphone jacks for earlobes Kyoka Jiro, and even Spyro all thought. 'So boring...' Bakugou thought to himself. 'This sucks.' Far from them, Hunter looked puzzled. 'What's the point of this again?'

"Hey, Look Alive Everybody! Don't Fall Asleep! Grammar Rules!" Momo raised her hand, which Yamada spotted. "That's The Spirit Yaoyoroza, Lay It On Us!" As asked, She points at the chalkboard. "The sentence that's incorrect is Number 4." Hizashi looks at the board, examining the 4 sentences from the top down to the 4th sentence that says, Please tell me that all you know. "Hmm...That's Right!" He points at another raised hand. "Would You Like To Point Out The Mistake For Us Bianca?"

She nods to him, lowering her hand as she spoke. "The words, That and All, are in the wrong place. If you were to switch them, the sentence would be corrected and say, 'Please tell me all that you know' correct?" Present Mic shouts, which echoes through the room, surely waking up anyone that fell asleep or startling those that were about to sleep. "CORRECTAMUNDO! Good Job You Two!"

(Hours Later, U.A. Lunchroom)

"Whoa! This is as big as the Gymnasium." Hunter said in amazement to his friends as they entered the Lunchline with their trays. When it was their turn to pick out the food they'd like to eat, Hunter noticed a familiar snack. "Hey, those look like the same Gem Gummies we had at that party for you Spyro." They looked at it too as Bianca spoke. "Those are the Gem Gummies we had for Spyro's party, Hunter."

Elora picked it up a bowl of the said chewable candy and examined it, announcing to the 7 friends. "She's right...How did they get here?" A voice from the other side of the counter of food spoke. "Because of me." They looked up to see someone they were least expecting to meet here in U.A. "Moneybags?!" The said Bear smiled.

"Long time no see old friends." Surprising to Spyro and his friends, Moneybags looks the same as he did back in Avalar, still covered in his brown fur, looking like the animal he is. What's noticeably different about him was his clothing, except for his monocle. Like the others working behind the counter, Moneybags is in a chef outfit rather than his suit, he was also wearing a chef hat. Spyro sighed with a facepalm. "I forgot, you came here with us too...What are you even doing here?"

The Bear gave a light chuckle. "Why, I work here of course." The group looked confused. "You...Work here now? Whatever happened to the sc-?" Sheila was hushed quietly by him. "Shh! Please don't mention my past around here. That was the old me." He gestured his hand to himself with a grin. "This is the new me. U.A.'s Professional Confectioner." Agent 9 looked confused.

"Professional-what?" Moneybags repeats himself, gesturing his hands over the candy and desserts in front of him. "Professional Confectioner. I make candy and many other delightful and healthy sweets for the students of this High School. And I get paid handsomely for it like the rest of the other heroes here in the Cafeteria."

"And all of these were made by you?" Moneybags responds to Hunter as they looked at the sweet snacks. "It took me only an hour to make enough for everyone here. It's all a part of my abilities...Or as everyone calls it, my Quirk." Spyro raised a brow. "Your Quirk lets you create candy?" Moneybags answers him. "Ehh...Sort of...It lets me copy sweets just by holding one hand over a bowl full of them with the other over an empty one to make similar ones. Observe." He raises a hand over a bowl of the Gem Gummies, making the gummies glow while he placed a bowl next to them, raising his other hand over it too.

In a matter of seconds, another batch of the Gem Gummies appeared inside the empty bowl out from the palm of Moneybags' hand. "Ta-da! I call it...Sweet Duplication. Whatever sweets I make or come into contact with, can be cloned with no difference or limitations whatsoever." He hands the group a bowl of the Gummy Gems to them each. "Is this how you got the job here?" Being asked by Spyro, the Bear answers while starting to lose his grin. "Well...Yes...And No. It's a very long story. Which..." He looks away and notices multiple students coming to get their lunch. Seeing this, he clears his throat and brings back his smile.

"...Which, I would like to tell you at another time. As you see I have work to attend to. Carry on!" He walks to the back, into the kitchen to continue his work. The group began to pick the food they're going to eat for lunch before walking away. "I don't understand. Out of all the places in this world, Moneybags had to be here, working as a Candymaker." Elora agrees, adding in. "I don't understand it either. After what he did to us in the past, he shouldn't be here at all...Who decided to have him work here in the first place anyway?"

Sparx buzzing with a nod, agreeing with them too. Flashbacks went through their minds of the times Moneybags "helped" them during Spyro's journies such as when he had to stop Ripto from taking over Avalar and defeat Sorceress to prevent her from killing the Dragons for their wings. Hunter tells them. "I'm not sure...But we could give him a chance to prove he's a changed man...Or Bear?" They looked at him as if he was crazy. Noticing their looks, he explains.

"I know what he did to us in the past was wrong and all. But if he's trying to be as good as he is right now, working here with the heroes, it's best to give him another chance, right?" He looks down at the bowl of candy. "Plus look at the bright side, we can get sweets every time we come here for lunch. And if he tries anything funny, the heroes will take care with him." His friends thought it over for a bit. Giving that greedy bear a chance to redeem himself is a risky thing to do, considering he almost went and pawned off one of the Dragon Eggs for a fortune back in the Forgotten Worlds...But free sweets and watching Moneybags get what he deserves if he double crosses them would be better.

Spyro gave a sigh. "Okay fine. Will give him a chance." He raises a finger. "But if he tries to scam us or team up with Ripto, we will make sure to remind him not to mess with us again. Heroes or not." They made it over to the table where Izuku, Ochako, and Iida are at, passing by the Cook Hero wearing his chef outfit, chef hat, and tube-like mask, Lunch Rush. After being seated, Ochako told them while enjoying her food. "You guys really gotta try the white rice, it's delicious!"

(Hours Later, Classroom 1-A, Afternoon)

Back in room 1-A all 29 of the Students were in their assigned seats, waiting for the best part of their final period to begin. Not long after being seated the 1-A classroom door slid open in a rush, revealing the number one hero in his muscular form, in a very red hero outfit, with a few colors or white, blue, and yellow, he was also wearing a cape as well. "I AM..." He stopped for a second, hanging from the doorway, continuing. "Coming into the classroom like a normal person!"

"Whoa, that really is All Might!" Denki said with a wide grin, which almost everyone else had as they watched the number one hero march inside the room. "It really is him! This year is gonna be awesome!" Eijiro told everyone. "Is he wearing his Silver Age costume?" Tsuyu tapped her chin when she asked. "He is. Man, I'm getting goosebumps just by looking at it...So classic." Ojiro told her as All Might stood in front of the stand.

Once at the platform, he greeted the class. "Welcome to the most important class of U.A. High! Think of it as Heroin 101! In this class you will all learn the basics of being pros, and what it means to fight in the name of good and justice." Everyone kept silent to listen to the Symbol of Peace's words as he now from the looks of it, began to flex while down on one knee. "Now...Let's get to it! Today's Lesson..." He turns, revealing a card he is holding in his left hand.

"Will Be Combat Training!"

Hearing those words made the friends of Midoriya look over at Katsuki who had a vicious smirk and satisfaction in his eyes. "Combat Training!" Izuku became worried about this. "Real Combat..." The group looked at one another with Spyro telling Sparx in a hushed undertone. "This is not going to be good." His childhood friend buzzes with a nod as Hunter whispers to them. "If Bakugou fights us, it's probably not going to end well..." They could only agree with him. Seeing what had happened yesterday during the Assessment Test, the blonde won't hold back on any of them, not even Sparx.

"One of the keys to being a hero is..." All Might aims his finger towards the seemingly normal wall on the right side of the room. "LOOKING GOOD!" Swiftly, drawers skimmed out from the wall, revealing numbered containers for those at their assigned seats. "These were designed for each of you on your own Quirk enrollment form at the request you sent in, way before School began."

Everyone cheered in excitement, seeing the boxes that contain the hero costumes they were hoping for. Izuku clutched his bag close to him. "Costumes." He and his friends smiled as Agent 9 shouted with his fists in the air. "Alright!" Hunter tells his girlfriend and their friends. "Sweet! I've always wanted to dress like a hero." When finished, the Symbol of Peace informs them. "Grab the box labeled with your desk number, go to the Locker Rooms to suit-up, and meet me at Training Ground Beta!" He points towards the doorway as the students stood from their desks and shouted with Byrd giving a salute.

"YES, SIR!"

(Minutes Later, Location: Training Ground Beta)

All Might stood in front of a large tunnel with the word, "EXIT" painted red above it. In seconds the sound of footsteps echoed throughout the pitch-black tunnel. Soon many of the Class 1-A students began to appear from the darkness, all of them dressed in their hero costumes. "As most heroes say, clothes make the pros youthful. And behold, you are the proof!" He gestures his hand to the class that stepped out into the light.

"Take this to heart young ones, as you are all now heroes in training!"

Revealed, 19 out of the 29 students were dressed in customized attire that're either armored, weaponized, stylized, skintight, or unique. The list can probably go on. "I have to admit, this is great! Shall we begin?" All Might views the students a second time when they announced they're ready, noticing that this is only almost half of the class. 'Where're the others?' He looks at the tunnel just as the sound of footsteps were heard. In a matter of seconds, 10 figures appeared from the darkness and into the daylight revealing Izuku and his friends in their outfits.

Spyro's wearing a jumpsuit that covered his body except for his hands, feet, wings, back spines, neck spines, and tail. The front of his suit's a gold color and the rest a purple color with the lower waist of his suit a dark purple. He wore a mask that's in the shape of a dragon's snout, only covering his head, face, and nose right above his upper lip with his horns sticking through two holes that're on top of the helmet. Around his drill-shaped tail tip, there is a normal-looking circular brace around it. As for his friend Sparx, he just wore a simple yellow suit that covered only his torso with glowing flame patterns on the sides of the suit.

Elora's attire is a green suit with the comparable design and material of her leaf dress, it only covered her body, leaving her arms, tail, and legs below the knees exposed. Her shoulders were covered in three pairs of leaves, for her legs they are wrapped in banana leaves from the hips to the knees above. She also wore green fingerless gloves with grass-like designs that are tucked under her leaf bracelets, and on her face, a green mask in the shape of two large leaves facing away from each other.

Hunter's was that of a dark-blue suit with white swirls on the sides, sleeves, and legs, giving the impression of wind. Around his wrist, ankles, and tail are miniature mobile propellers that were spinning from the breeze. His bow and quiver full of arrows were on his back once again, this time enhanced by the Professor, making the bow flexible and the arrows and quiver more durable. A pair of blue-tinted visors covered his eyes, making it a little difficult to see them.

Bianca's in a violet shoulderless skintight suit with magic designed cyan markings all over with colored matching boots. Around her waist is an orange utility belt that carries both her magic wand, book, and anything else that's expendable to use for magic such as containers full of glass marbles and rolled up paper. She's also wearing a mask matching the same color and designs of her suit along with a robe and hood which hang from her back like a cape.

Sheila's wears a v-neck orange leotard that bared her legs and, obviously, her tail. Her arms are covered to the elbows by sleeves that're a tangerine color. Strapped to her feet were very long and large-looking sandals with a thick rubber sole below each foot.

Sgt. Byrd's is a bodysuit with a variety of blue colors giving it a camouflage appearance, he is also wearing his helmet along with his utility belt, harness, and Rocket Launchers. And all over his face was bodypaint that's of multiple blue colors matching his costume.

Bentley's costume is that of a blue sleeveless shirt and blue shorts, each with a light-blue design to give both parts of his clothing an icy appearance. He is also wearing blue and white fingerless kickboxing gloves, and on his back was his Crystal Ice Club which is in a large pouch he has stitched to the back of his shirt.

Agent 9's is almost similar to his first outfit but different. It's light-green, but the shoulder pads and gloves are now yellow and the picture of the No Rhynoc on his chest was replaced with a thunderbolt electrocuting a Rhynoc, his boots, utility belt, and helmet remained the same except for the fin which is yellow as well, he is also holding his Laser Blaster in one hand, which now, thanks to the Professor, only subdues opponents.

Izuku's costume's a green jumpsuit with white gloves, black elbow pads, black knee pads, a red belt, and his red shoes. He's also wearing a green mask that almost resembles All Might from the two green long ears that look like tufts and the gas mask that has a printed smile on it. What's noticeable is the round lump of the Orb that's seen on the chest of the suit.

"That's your costume?" Izuku looked at Spyro, whose brow is raised. "Don't you think that's close to resembling...You-know-who?" He whispered, pointing a thumb towards the number one hero. "Uh...I'm sure no one will notice..." Said Izuku, hoping no one will. Oblivious to him, Bianca wasn't too happy about the mask he's wearing. She asked herself. "Why do I feel so offended by his mask?" Ochako noticed Izuku and his friends and waved as she approached. "Hey Deku! Love your costume."

He turned to her direction and spoke. "Thanks, Uraraka." He examines her costume. "Is that...?" He froze as she gave a bright smile. "My costume? Yes...But I wasn't really specific on it." She began to rub the back of her head. "This bodysuit's skintight, it's not really my style." Izuku smiled nervously. "R-Really? I-I think it looks good on you." She blushed from his compliment.

"Ochako is right...We should've been more specific on our costumes." Elora agreed with a red face, looking down at her costume that hugged her figure. Sheila just shrugged this off like it's nothing. "I don't see the problem with what we're wearing?" The female Kangaroo began stretching her legs. "I like it. No limitations to my hops or kicks, nothing to get in the way, you know?"

Watching this in awe, Mineta said to himself. "I love this School." This earned Minoru scowls from some of the females that heard and caught him ogling at them in their costumes, even from some of the males who disliked it too, such as Hunter for example. During this, All Might spotted Izuku and noticed how his mask looks roughly comparable to his hair and smile, making him shiver, covering his mouth to restrict himself from bursting out in laughter. Seeing this, Spyro looks up at his green-haired friend.

"You were saying?"

Izuku didn't have time to speak as All Might fake coughs. "Now that everyone's here, it's time for Combat Training!" Iida, who's in a full body armored suit and helmet, raised his hand and asked. "Are we going to be attending another city battle? Like the Entrance Exam?" All Might shook his head. "Not really!" He held up two fingers.

"I'm moving you two steps ahead of that. You see, most attacks nowadays happen outside. However, it can still happen indoors. For instance, hidden hideouts, illegal transactions, hostage situations, larceny." He turned the peace sign into a fist. "Villains with high knowledge stay hidden in the shadows, away from the light."

He looks at the class. "Which is why for this training exercise, everyone will be battling indoors, split into a Team of three each. Heroes versus Villains. And remember, this isn't anything like the Entrance Exam where you have to defeat a Robot. You're battling real people now." All Might then asks. "Any questions before we continue and divide the teams?" He's suddenly hit with various questions from the class.

"Are you going to decide who wins?"

"Won't one of us be a teammate short?"

"Can we beat the other Team to a pulp?"

"Will we use our Quirks to restrain the other Team?"

"Are we going to be expelled if we lose?"

"Can Sparx and I count as one to make the Teams even?

"Will we be divided based on our abilities?"

"Can our Support Items be used?"

"Isn't this cape dashing?"

All Might winched a bit and held up his hands. "Slow down! My Quirk isn't super hearing." The group of 29 students ceased talking. Now silent, the hero sighed quietly of relief as he lowered his hands and told them. "I'll be quick and answer what I heard." He began to face each of the students he heard asked about the Combat Training in order, who are Momo, Elora, Katsuki, Bianca, Ochako, Spyro, Iida, Sgt. Byrd, and of course, Yuga.

"I will be. That will be fixed. No, critical injuries will be an immediate disqualification. Certainly, but make sure it's safe. As of now, there will be no suspensions. You can if you wish, that'll even the Teams out. No, not really, I'll get to the basics soon. If they don't kill the other Team that's fine. And yes, but careful, it's a safety hazard."

After answering their questions, All Might took out a tiny script and opened it. "This is the objective of Combat Training. The heroes must infiltrate the villain's hideout and thwart their evil plans by either capturing them or recover the missile that's hidden on one of the floors. But likewise, the villains must succeed by either capturing the heroes or protect their weapon until the 15 minute time runs out." Izuku tells his friends. "It almost sounds like a classic video game."

"Since we're on a time crunch, we'll choose Teams by drawing lots." All Might told them, holding up a yellow-orange box that says "Lots" on it. He brought it down in front him, low enough for the students to reach in and grab whatever letter they get. "You may never know what heroes you'll have to work with in order to prevent dangers similar to this from happening. This'll be the best strategy to help you prepare yourselves for in the future. Now, let's draw!"

He watched as each of the heroes of the future reached into the box and pulled out a rubber ball, walking away with it, looking or waiting for those that could be on their Team as well. After Spyro and Sparx got their ball, they looked down at it and saw the letter, "I" on it. After giving a hum, Spyro asked. "Anyone that's on Team I?" They both got a response from not one, but two of their classmates. "Over here." "That's us!" They looked and saw both Mashirao and Toru waving to them, showing the rubber ball they got that have the same letter on them too.

"Looks like you're on our team." Said a cheerful Hagakure to them. She then introduced herself to them as she shook the purple heroes hand. "Toru Hagakure. And to my right is Mashirao Ojiro." The said tailed blonde gave a kind smile. "Nice to see you again." He shakes his hand. "Likewise." Said the Dragon with a grin. "The names Spyro, and this is my buddy, Sparx."

The Dragonfly buzzes to them, waving one of his many limbs as he flies next to his friend. "Should've guessed when we saw you guys working together yesterday." Admitted Ojiro as Toru told them. "I was surprised when I heard that one of our classmates was going to be a Dragonfly. Just look how adorable you are!" Sparx could've sworn he was blushing from that. During this, Spyro gave himself some time to see what teams his friends were on, checking in alphabetical order from A down to J.

At the first lettered team, he sees three of his friends, Hunter, Izuku Midoriya, and Ochako Uraraka are of Team A. He almost snickered when he saw Izuku becoming shy around Ochako again after she announced they're a team.

'That look on him is never going to get old.' He looks over at Team B and noticed it was only Mezo Shoji and Shoto Todoroki, one of the teams of two. Puzzling to Spyro, the entire left side of Shoto was coated in ice with his left eye giving away a red glow. Not only that, he was looking directly at him...Showing no emotions at all...It started to become annoying to him. 'Why is he looking at me like that?' He thought while still getting the classmates icy glare.

It soon ended when the bicolored-haired teen looked away from him, examining the other students. Shrugging this off, the Dragon brought his gaze over to the third Team, Team C, and saw Shiela with both Momo Yaoyorozu and Minoru Mineta. However, he disliked the sight, seeing the shortest of the trio looking left and right directly at Momo and Sheila's bodies where their skin is most exposed at.

"Hm?" Mineta paused, seeing Spyro's scowl, making beads of sweat drip from his forehead through the purple mask. He gave a thumbs up to him with a nervous laugh in response to the glare. Spyro just shook his head with a sigh. He looks over at Team D, seeing that the only ones in that Team are Bakugou and Iida, nobody else, making them the last team of two.

Spyro then brought his attention to Team letter E, who are Bianca, Mina Ashido and Yuga Aoyama. From here he can actually hear Yuga asking Mina while holding out his sparkling overgarment. "Whose cape do you think is more Magnifique? I bet it's mine." The pink girl hummed, looking at Aoyama cape and Bianca's cloak. "I'm not sure? I think they're both nice." She shrugged with a grin as Bianca holds up the sleeve of her cloak and tells the sparkling blonde.

"This is not a cape, it's a hooded robe, there's a difference." Continuing their discussion, Spyro spots Team F, seeing Bentley having a friendly greet with Koji Koda whose head looks like a solid rock and Rikido Sato. After shaking Sato's hand, he offered a handshake to Koji. He seemed a bit shy about it, but Bentley assured him with a grin. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna bite."

Carefully Koda grabbed the Yeti's larger hand and shook it. 'At least they're getting along.' He glances at Team G, seeing Agent 9, Denki Kaminari, and Kyoka Jiro. From the looks of it, Agent 9 and Denki were getting along, giving high-fives to one another, accidentally shocking each other, laughing. Jiro gave an annoyed glance, seemingly wondering why she was paired with the Electric users.

The Dragon then turns to look at Team H, seeing Elora teamed with Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami, the classmate with a Crow or Raven head, telling them one of her abilities as an answer to Asui's question, which seems to bring interest to the Frog girl. "Your Quirk sounds like it's intriguing." The Faun nodded to her. "Thanks. I would tell you more about it, but we can't let the other teams know all of our skills yet." Spyro smirked at this. Anyone paired with Elora is bound to win.

"What's with those things on your back? Support Items?" He looks over at Team J, noticing Hanta Sero and Eijiro Kirishima looking at Sgt. Byrd, asking about his weapons. "Why yes. They're my DBX9 Rocket Launchers, a perfect utility for my Water Quirk." James explained, pointing the thumb of his flipper to the said weapons on his back that began to rotate in different directions. "Wait, so you were the Water user I saw saving those people from the One-Pointers back in the Entrance Exam?"

The penguin nodded to the red-haired teen who began to grin. "That was so manly of you dude!" After watching Byrd being praised by Ejiro, everyone looked at All Might, standing in front of two boxes, one that says "Heroes" and the other that says "Villains" with both of his hands behind his back.

"Alright, the first two teams to fight each other in this exercise are...These Guys!" He brought both hands forward, showing them a ball with the letter B in his left hand and another with the letter I on his right. Shoto and Mezo looked at Spyro, Sparx, Toru, and Ojiro who looked back at them vice versa. The symbol of peace looks at the ball with the letter B and the ball with the letter I, winching again. 'Crap! ...I grab the wrong ones.' He then shrugged, knowing it's too late to change it and announced.

"Team B, you're going to be the heroes and Team I, you'll be the villains."

Everyone looked at both teams, mostly Shoto and Spyro, seeing half of Shoto's body covered in ice and Spyro's nose giving away steam. The symbol of peace spoke. "Everyone that's not a part of both Teams, head on over to the monitor rooms over there." The class walked off towards the said room he looked over to. He then looks at the teams.

"Team B and I, follow me to the building over there." While the six did so, the friends of Spyro and Sparx watched from the far before entering the monitor room. "Who do you think is going to win?" Ochako asked Izuku who blushed a bit.

"Oh...I-I'm not sure, b-but I'm going to go with Team I."

He looked at the said Team from the monitors in front of them, watching as both Teams stood in front of the building far from each other. While at that building All Might told the four, stopping them from entering. "Young Ojiro, Sparx, Spyro, Toru." The four looked at the number one hero. "The key to beating this challenge is to be like that of a villain. Understand?" Spyro nods as he and the three head inside with the fake bomb.

(Battle Building A)

On the 4th floor with the prop weapon against the back wall, Team I prepared themselves before the time begins to protect the bomb from Team B. "Now that the bomb's in place, we need to come up with a plan." Spyro looked at the three. "Any ideas guys?" Toru raised a hand in response to the question.

"Toru?"

She points to one of her gloves. "What if I remove my costume and go spy on the other Team when the time starts?" The Dragon began to hum, soon shaking his head. "Shoji would find out where you're hiding and catch you by surprise." This left the two teens puzzled. "He would?" "How?" Spyro explains to them as a flashback went through his mind. It showed him, Sparx and their four friends running to find more 1, 2, or 3-Pointers.

Seconds, Spyro caught a glimpse of something moving from above and looked at the top of the buildings, spotting the six-armed teen on a roof not far from them. "Back during the Entrance Exam, I saw him on top one of the buildings using his Quirk to locate the Bots we were fighting." The flashback ended with Mezo running off towards the enemies he found. "If he was to activate it just as time begins you would've walked right into a trap."

"Oh...Ok." The Invisible teen said, sounding relieved yet disappointed that her spy plan wouldn't work out. Seeing this, Ojiro told her assuredly. "Still it's a good idea. If we were against a different team your plan could've worked perfectly." She perks up hearing this, seeing Spyro give a nod in agreement. "Thanks, guys."

Soon Sparx flew over to his longtime friend, tapping him on the shoulder. He looks at him. "You have one Sparx?" The said Dragonfly hummed a yes to him, buzzing the plan to his ear. Mashirao and Hagakure watched, unsure what the yellow Dragonfly is talking about. After Sparx ceased his buzzing a smirk began to appear on Spyro's face.

"Good idea buddy." Suddenly the intercom turned on, causing them to look up at the said device. "Look Alive Team B and Team I! It's Time To Show Us You're The Representations Of Good...Or Evil!" The horn went off, indicating that the 15-minute timer has started counting down.

While beginning, Mashirao asked Spyro. "What's the plan?" The Dragon glances up at him and Toru, gesturing a hand towards himself, informing them to gather close in a circle. After doing so he whispered to them.

"Ok so here's what will do..."

(Meanwhile)

At the entrance of the building, Mezo entered the 1st floor, looking down the dark hall, opening his web-like arms, turning each of his arms into ears, listening for the opposing Team. It didn't take long for him to find out where the four are, hearing their low mumbles, breathing and or wings.

When Shoto entered, the tall teen formed the arms on his left into mouths, notifying his teammate. "They're upstairs on the north side of the 4th floor. Three on the ground and one in the air flying. It sounds like they're making a plan..." The bicolored teen passes him. "It doesn't matter." Mezo looked at him puzzled. "Huh?"

The Half-Ice user raised his right arm, emitting frost. "Unless you want to freeze, I suggest waiting outside." The youngest of 1-A didn't need to be told twice and left the building. By himself, Shoto places his right hand on the wall, causing ice to form over and spread throughout the building. From outside Shoji, surprised, watched as ice appeared around the outside bottom level, making its way to the top.

Back upstairs after breaking the huddle, the Invisible teen felt a chill up her spine. Shivering from the sudden increase of cold, she crossed her arms over her chest. "I-Is i-it me or-or is it getting c-cold?" Spyro blew a breath of air, listening as the sound of crackling is heard, bringing his attention to the doorway.

"Everyone, behind me, now." Suddenly ice began to form around the said entrance, coming towards them full speed. "Sorry Sparx, but it looks like we're going to have to have a change of plan." Sparx nods as he, Toru, and Ojiro got behind the young Dragon as asked. Soon Spyro inhaled before breathing fire, getting rid of some of the ice. For precautions, he inhaled before breathing fire again, spraying it left and right until whatever's left of the frost is vapor.

(Monitor Room)

Everyone kept their eyes on the large screen, watching as the Fire user of the Villain Team liquefy the ice, some of them shaking as Shoto's powers had reached the room, making it feel like a freezer. While watching Kaminari spoke. "He's melting away the ice like it's nothing."

"I'm surprised he isn't leaving scorch marks on anything." Said Jiro, noticing the room looks absolutely the same with no damage at all. Just then Shiela asked with her arms wrapped around her body. "H-how long until the others notice that freezing the building isn't going to work? I-I can barely feel my f-f-feet."

Despite wearing sandals her feet are still exposed to the cold element. "Not sure, but I don't see the problem?" Bentley replied with a shrug. "Kinda reminds me of home." He gave a smile, unfazed by the temperature change around him.

At the bottom level, spotting something from the edge of his eyes, Mezo looked up at the 4th floor, seeing a faint orange glow from the windows. He formed some noses on his arms, smelling the air to be sure his eyes aren't deceiving him. In seconds he caught the scent of what could've been described as ashes...And oddly, burnt peppers. He looks at Shoto who was about to head up the stairway. "The Dragon one melted away the ice."

'Figures.' Shoto thought before staring at the six-armed teen. "Follow me then..." He showed him the frost on his hand dying down. "I'm already done." He faced the stairs, heading up with his teammate following from behind. "Are they still on the 4th floor?"

Walking up the stairs, passing the 2nd floor the masked teen formed his arms back into ears again, shaking his head. "Three of them are going to the upper level and the other one is on the 3rd floor...Spyro's looking for us." Hearing the Dragon's name brought concerns to his teammate. At the 2nd floor, he stopped and asked.

"And the weapon?" As Mezo was about to answer, a shout echoed in front of them. "Surprise!" Having time to react, Shoto fired ice from his hand towards the flames coming towards them. Blocking the attack, he looks back at his teammate. "I got this..." Mezo stares at his training partner who then tells him. "You're not going to win this fight...Subdue the others and get the bomb."

He nods before running down the hall to the other flight of stairs. "Should've known you were going to play a dirty move on us." Shoto turned his attention to Spyro who continues. "Did you really think freezing us was gonna work?" He shook his head to the Dragon. "It was only to separate you from your team...I was looking to fight you head on myself." Hearing this just made Spyro chuckle.

"Fight me head on? So you froze the whole place on purpose to lure me out for a one on one battle, is that it?"

In response, multiple icicles were sent to him. The Dragon dodged the attack and melt the icicles away with his fire breath. "I'll take that as a yes. But look, you're making a mistake here if you think you can win. Just surrender...This is your only warning..." The expression on Shoto's face didn't change one bit. Seeing this as an answer, Spyro shrugged. "Fine...Have it your way." Just like that, the clash between Ice and Fire began.

Starting off the combat Shoto formed more icicles all around Spyro from the walls, trying to apprehend or defeat the Fire user, only for him to inhale and blast the ice into steam. Spotting an opening, Spyro landed on fours, charging at Shoto. Quickly, he raises a hand in front of him, forming a wall of ice between them. He narrowed his eyes, keeping his hand raised.

'There...He can't burn his way through this...' In seconds a slight tremor came from the other side of the ice wall, causing it to form cracks. "What?!" Suddenly it shattered into pieces, stunning the Half-Ice user. Before Shoto could do anything Spyro headbutted him in the gut, making him grunt, causing the ice covering half of his abdomen to crack, sending him back a few feet.

"Should've weakened it with fire first..." Spyro said, rubbing the top of his head. Meanwhile, Shoto, now with his arm holding the iceless side of his stomach, looked at him wide-eyed, which Spyro chuckled at. "Yeah...Wasn't the first time I rammed my head into something solid." After rubbing his head he held out his hand and asked, looking confused. "Now...Where were we?" He gives a sinister looking grin.

"Oh right!"

He formed two fists and runs towards Shoto who uses his ice-covered arm to block the barrage of punches sent to him. The force of the punches sent Shoto sliding back a bit and the ice on his arm to crack from the blunt force. Seeing an opening Shoto manages to throw a punch at Spyro with his free hand, landing a hit on the right side of his face.

In return, Spyro opened his hand and swings it at Shoto, making him jump back just as three tears open up on the right side of his hero costume, even chipping away some of the ice on his left. "It's gonna take more than a punch to harm me!" Spyro told him in a menacing tone before running at his opponent who ran at him vice versa, continuing their battle.

"They have to be up there somewhere..."

Mezo said quietly to himself at the stairs, keeping the end of his tentacle-like arms as ears to listen for the trio with the weapon. Making it to the 5th floor he looked around his surroundings, directing his ears at the hallways. Carefully, Mezo walked down the one in front of him, heading towards a door that's left ajar, being near the last place he heard Ojiro, Sparx, and Toru from.

Before entering he formed an eye on an arm and peeked through the opening. The room was close to being pitch black, barely having light to reveal anything from the inside. Mezo turned the one eye on one of his six arms back into an ear before entering the room, looking around, mostly at the pillars that were visible to his eyes.

'Where are they?' Not long after the thought, the door behind Mezo slammed shut. He flinches from the loud bang to his eardrums, turning to look back at the door he came through. On the other side, Mashirao and Hagakure laid their weight against the door, hoping that the sound was loud enough to leave Mezo deaf for a temporary time.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Ojiro asked the Invisible teammate, nudging his head and directing his eyes towards the door they closed. "I'm sure. Spyro said Sparx can handle him...I hope." Toru whispered, having a hint of worriedness for the Dragonfly.

Back with Mezo as he started to regain hearing, the sound of buzzing whizzed past him from behind. "Hm!" He turned only to see nothing, then again the same sound passed from behind, making him turn around again. He was starting to become suspicious.

'Something's not right...' The exact sound echoes through the room again. When he turned to the direction of the source, the familiar glowing dash of yellow flew towards him, hitting him square in the face. It didn't take long for it to quickly turn back around and hit him on the other side as well before vanishing back into the darkness.

"Uh...What's going on with Mezo? It looks like he's freaking out?"

The class including All Might took their attention away from the fight between both Spyro and Shoto and brought it to the screen Sero's pointing at.

In infrared light, they can see Mezo in the dark, looking around frantically with wide-eyed before dropping to one of his knees before attempting to grab the air around him before forcefully falling forward, using four of his arms to hold him up, puzzling some of the students.

Hunter peered closer at the screen to get a better look, soon seeing the small light passing by and hitting Mezo. "Oh, Sparx is fighting him." He told them with a grin. The class looked in shock. "Sparx?!"

"The fucking Dragonfly?!"

"Language Young Bakugou!" All Might told the Explosive user, watching as Sparx flies around the six-armed teen at super speed. A sweatdrop emerged from the side of his forehead. 'He's moving so fast I can barely see him.'

Mezo began to back away while trying to grab Sparx who keeps avoiding the multiple arms, ramming into his body relentlessly, leaving marks and possibly minor bruises all over that could be mistaken as punch marks. He soon stopped when his back made contact with the door. Seeing another opening Sparx from one end of the room all the way to Mezo, slamming his head into the door with enough force, rendering him unconscious as he fell forward.

"Bzzt!" Sparx quickly flew behind Mezo, grabbing the neck of his hero costume. While carefully laying him on the floor, the door began to open with a floating glove holding it from the side, revealing to be Toru. "Is it over?"

She looked asked concerned of her teammate before noticing their large opponent on the ground. Opening the door wider both her and Ojiro entered the room immediately astounded. They didn't really think Sparx would accomplish taking down the student that's at least 7 and a half times his size. Shaking this off Ojiro asked.

"Is he alright?"

Sparx placed one of his limbs onto the side of Mezo's neck before nodding with a buzz-like hum. "Ok." The tailed teen took out the capture tape and walked towards Mezo, grabbing his six arms, taping them together while as Toru asks. "Should we go downstairs and help Spyro?" They felt the floor quake beneath with the sound of fire and ice echoing throughout the building, scaring Toru a little.

"...N-Nevermind!"

After a breath of Fire collided with a group of icicles, the two users of the said elements began to pant out of exhaustion from using up most of their powers on each other during their combat.

Because of this both of them were covered in scratches, bruises, their costumes were ripped, soaked or singed, and most of the ice that coated half of Shoto's body and the building had melted away with the temperature returning back to its normal degree.

"You're not...Going to win..." Spyro stood back up before running towards Todoroki. "Just give up already!" Having enough of this, Shoto clenched his teeth and fists before shouting at the Dragon.

"QUIT MOCKING ME!"

He then swings his right arm, sending a wave of ice to Spyro. He was unable to escape the cold wave heading right towards him. SWOOSH! After being hit, ice began to coat Spyro from head-to-toe, keeping him as stiff as a statue with no visibility of his body. Seeing this, Shoto sighed. "Finally..." He stood back up before walking past the frozen classmate.

"Now to get the bomb..." He muttered to himself, reaching the stairs. As he was about to go up the slight sound of ice giving away is heard. "Huh?" Shoto turned around before his eyes widened in shock. 'What the...?!'

A faint light-blue glow began to appear under the ice coming from the horns, spines, nails, and tail of the Dragon himself. Just then the ice began to break with beams of the said glow seeping out, causing the cracks to spread further and connect, allowing Spyro to move again as he brought his arms to his stomach, leaning forwards before throwing his arms out with his upper body upwards and wings out, making the shards blow off his body and scatter apart.

Finished watching the fight between Mezo and Sparx, and the capture of Mezo, the group in the monitor room went back to watching the battle between both Element users, and after viewing the Dragon break out of his icy prison they looked in awe.

Spyro, who was seconds ago purple and orange-yellow is now different. His hair, wings, belly, and every other part of his body that was almost gold are now the color of ice, being light-blue with an icy white tint blended in with it. Frost is even radiating from his back spines that now have spiky icicle sticking out from them, they along with his head spines were almost transparent along with the tip of his horns and nails. Not only that, the pupils in his eyes are now light-blue.

"What happened to him?! It's like he's made of ice now!" Shouted Mineta, freaking out from Spyro's new look. "That's so cool! I didn't know he could that?" Admitted Mina, amazed by the Dragon's form.

"It seems that his body must have had some sort of interaction with the ice when he was frozen solid." Said Tenya with his hand under his chin, theorizing what could've caused his friend's change of appearance.

"Woo, That's Cold!" Shouted Spyro with frost coming out from his breath. Noticing, he looked down at himself, spotting the changes. Looking at his body, arms, legs, tail, and wings, he was almost amazed by the new look. 'Whoa...I may have used ice powers once before, but I never expected them to come back and do all of this to me...' The smile on his face began to reform.

'Kinda like it actually...And come to think about it...'

He brought his arms down and smirked. Turning around to face the stunned Shoto with the Dragon's piercing icy eyes staring at him. "I think it's about time I finish this fight." After Spyro finished, he closed his eyes and clench his fists before taking a deep breath, gathering up any moisture from the outside and inside of the building, causing bright ice-like marking to spread and appear all over his body.

Spyro then blew a large puff of frost full of ice crystals at Shoto, forming into an ice ball flying towards him. Coming to his senses, Shoto quickly threw his arm forward, blasting icicles to counter the attack or destroy it, unfortunately, the solid ball of ice broke each of the icicles before hitting him.

From the force of the blow, the ball exploded, knocking Shoto up to the third level, landing on the floor. From the impact, Shoto winched from the pain he endured before momentarily passing out. Finished, Spyro made his way up the stairs before standing over Shoto's inanimate body, speaking.

"Ok, I guess that may have been a little too much for you to handle...Are you alive?" Spyro bent his knees, tapping the bicolor-haired teen's forehead, earning a groan from him. In response Spyro looked up and spotted one of the cameras, smiling as he gave a thumbs up. "He's okay!" He looks back down at Shoto and pulls out a roll of capture tape from his pocket, using it to tape both of his arms together with only seconds remaining. With Shoto and Mezo defeated and captured, All Might shouted in the mic.

"THE VILLAIN TEAM...WINS!"

On the big Monitor, Spyro is seen picking up the unconscious Shoto before pressing the communication device that's in his ear. "Sparx, Ojiro, Toru. Get Mezo and meet me at the entrance." With that, he went down the stairs with the three following from behind seconds later. As All Might left after announcing the winning team.

While he was gone the class began to mumble to one another about Spyro's Icy appearance and ability, minus Bakugou who continued staring at the screen in shock. "D-Did any of you know about this?" Izuku questioned in a whisper to his friends with Uraraka and Iida becoming concerned as well. Bianca shook her head. "No...Spyro never breathed ice."

"Or turn into that." Added Hunter, pointing towards the screen showing All Might approach Spyro and his team, congratulating them for their win before asking about Shoto and Mezo who they are carrying. "It might have been what Iida said." They looked at Elora. "Spyro's body interacted with the Ice after being frozen solid. But how?"

Before her friends could give an answer, both Teams, with Team B still unconscious, walked in with All Might from behind who looks at his students. "Young Byrd?" Hearing his name, Sgt. Byrd walked over to their Teacher. "Yes, All Might, sir?" Said hero gestured his hands to the two students held by Spyro, Sparx, Ojiro, and Toru. "Think you can wake them up with your Quirk?"

"Hm...It's worth a try."

James said to him, aiming the Rocket Launchers at the two. But instead of the missiles firing out, it was just two sprays of water, waking up the two. "What happened?" Mezo asked, rubbing the side of his head that hit the metallic door while Shoto remained mute, possibly knowing what had occurred before being knocked out. "We beat your team and won." Explained Spyro to the two.

Mezo went silent like his teammate, both of who recalling their defeat from either the Dragon or Dragonfly. The Dupli-Armed teen looked a bit ashamed for losing to Sparx while the bicolored teen didn't know what to say since his experience was different.

"Hey, don't start to look down. There's always next time." They looked at Spyro who reminded them what this was. "It's only Combat Training, remember?" After Spyro finished, he and Sparx went back to their friends and waved. "Hey...Guys?"

Spyro noticed half of the class and his friends quivering a bit from the cold flowing from him and into the room. He even started to see their classmates looking at him. "Are my powers that strong?" Spyro asked looking at his ice covered back spines before hearing a fake cough.

"Yes, they are, Young Spyro. But could you perhaps...Turn it down a notch?" All Might points his thumb to the class that's freezing. "Can't continue Combat Training if everyone comes down with a cold."

The Purple Dragon hummed, trying to figure out if he really can. He stood still and closed his eyes, concentrating deeply in an attempt to turn off this new/old ability he has. Fortunately, it was working. The ice and ice color on his body began to evaporate and fade away with his orange and yellow colors returning to him.

Spyro looked at his body a 2nd time, making sure there's no inch of ice left on him. 'Huh...I can't believe that worked.' He smiled back at the number one hero and asks. "Can we continue?" All Might shook his head slightly. "Not quite yet. First, a quick question to the class before we continue!" He turns to face the said class that weren't of Team B or Team I.

"Who was the MVP for this activity?"

In seconds of that question, most of the class gave the answer to him. "Spyro!" The said Dragon kept his smile hearing everyone say he was the MVP. "Good job! Can anyone point out why?" Elora stepped forward and spoke.

"When Sparx's plan failed at the beginning of their training after the building was frozen, Spyro used his quick thinking and came up with a new plan for them to use to take down the Hero Team." She looked at the two students of the said Team. "He left to give some time for Toru, Mashirao, and Sparx to carry the bomb from the 4th floor to the 5th and hide it by confronting both Shoto and Mezo. Yelling at them to leave Mezo temporarily deaf upon hearing the commotion upstairs, leading himself to a trap and his own downfall in training."

This left Mezo shocked. That explains why the footsteps or wings of the three stopped when he and his teammate were attacked. Elora looked at Spyro with a smile and continues. "When it was just Shoto left, Spyro acted accurately like a villain to him during their fight. Taunting and antagonizing Shoto to the point where he lost it." She paused for a moment before finishing. "The rest of what happened with Spyro...We're not really sure?"

"Thanks for the details, and no worries about your friend. What Spyro had may have been a possible occurrence of his Quirk." Said All Might who looks at the class. "Now then, it's time for the next two teams to go up." It didn't take long for All Might to take out the black and white boxes before digging into them while announcing. "Which will be..."

As if time was slowing down, the number one hero pulls out the two rubber balls each. The rubber ball in his left hand has the letter D on it, Bakugou and Iida's Team. When the other ball was pulled out from the box on the right, many began to feel sorry for the three that'll be going against Bakugou, because the ball in All Mights right hand was the letter A, Izuku, Ochako, and Hunter's Team. "These Guys!" Izuku and his friends all thought at the same time.

'Oh no...'

Author's Note: That's it for the 7th Chapter. As you've seen near the beginning, Moneybags is working at U.A. as a candy maker. How he got the job is unknown for right now, but it will be revealed later on at some point. And I know it was supposed to be Team A and Team D to go first against each other, but since Spyro and his friends are already in the MHA World I figured it would be better to have Spyro and the Team he's in go first, which is Team I. And thanks to Shoto's Ice Quirk, Spyro is now able to unleash his Ice Powers once again, this time with some new designs on him and abilities from it. Now that it will be Team A and Team D turn to go against each other, what will happen to Izuku when he has to use the Orb and One-For-All to fight Bakugou? Will Hunter stay back and help Izuku or go on with Ochako to recover the prop weapon from Iida? Stay tuned for the 8th Chapter! And don't forget to follow, favorite, or review.
